RFC Editor

Joyce Reynolds

The RFC Editor is pleased to announce two new members of our publication team.

Alice Hagens has joined us as an editor full time. Alice holds a degree in Computer Science from Dartmouth College. She spent a summer as an RA in the UC Irvine Department of Information and Computer Science, where she wrote mySQL queries and Java routines. After graduation she worked in Japan and in Puerto Rico teaching English as a second language. With this background, we expect Alice to make a major contribution to our effort and hence to the Internet technical community.

Alba Regalado has also joined the RFC Editor team part-time. Alba has been with ISI’s Division 7 in other capacities over the last six years. She holds a degree in Business Administration, and is fluent in Spanish. She joins our project to assist in nroffing and editing RFCs. Alba’s efforts are expected to improve our publication output.

Doug Barton’s IANA note

The IAB discussed Doug Barton’s note to IANA regarding IPv6 address space allocation. The IAB had some concerns. Kurtis Lindqvist took the action item of drafting a list of issues so we can respond within a week.

The IAB discussed whether a formal liaison for SSAC was desired. The IAB decided that at this point it preferred simply a point of contact person. The IAB appointed Patrik Fältström as point of contact for the SSAC.

The IAB discussed the presence of email addresses on the IAB web site. The IAB agreed to disguise email addresses to make email address harvesting more difficult. The IAB discussed the “news of the month” on the home page. The IAB agreed that it was helpful but it was important that it not be stale. Rich Draves took the action item of reviewing the web site.

The IAB confirmed the selection of June 9/10 for its upcoming retreat. The IAB discussed several locations. Jonathan Rosenberg indicated that he/Cisco could host the retreat near both EWR and IAD. A straw poll indicated a definite preference for IAD.
